Grilled Banana Split

They'll go bananas over this ice cream sundae that gets its tasty start on the grill! Yes, grilled bananas take only minutes but the heavenly combination of creamy ice cream, warm hot fudge and smoky bananas will linger in our mouths!

Grilled Banana Split

6 servings

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
6 firm bananas, cut in half lengthwise
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 cup hot fudge, warmed (see Tips)

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a 9" x 13" baking dish, combine the butter and brown sugar; mix well. Place the bananas in the butter mixture and brush to coat completely.
Place the bananas on the grill flat side down and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the edges begin to bubble; turn with a long-handled spatula and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until lightly browned.
Place 2 cooked slices of banana in each of 6 serving dishes, top with scoops of ice cream, and drizzle with hot fudge. Serve immediately.

PREPARATION TIPS: You can heat the hot fudge in an aluminum container directly on the grill. If you'd like, crown this with all your favorite banana split toppings, or, for a change of pace, replace the hot fudge with caramel sauce and sprinkle each serving with crushed peanut brittle.
